- Details:
My favorite bra from anaono is called "Molly" and it's a plunge bra style in Medium, made of modal/tencel/rayon with 8% spandex. It is washed in a gentle cycle only and made in Columbia. Shop for this anaono bra here: https://www.anaono.com/product....s/pocketed-plunge-br
My favorite cotton blend bra is from MakeMerry, made in Indonesia. This one was a small, so they run large compared to anaono (I'm a 32D). It is 48% cotton, 48% modal and 4% elastane. It is a plunge style bra with an eyelet edging and a wider band around the bottom. Buy it direct here: https://shopmakemerry.com/collections/plunge-bra (no affiliation)
My favorite camisoles are called "Valletta" from Amoena. They are 82% modal, 11% elastane and 7% nylon. They have an inner "shelf bra" with pockets for prosthetics. My choice was US size six and it fits me very well. Handwash if possible. Here's an online distributor for this item: https://www.mastectomyshop.com..../new-amoena-tall-val (no affiliation)
(Remember to consult with your doctor before making any changes to your treatment plan, before or after mastectomy!)
